Hey everyone. So I’ve been feeling stuck in a decision and wanted to see if anyone has been in my shoes. So my friend and I were planning to move together somewhere in Georgia and now maybe Texas since it’s cheaper. I would be the one moving the furthest away since I live in MA. She lives in Georgia. We been planning this for 2 years and been saving money but now that it’s coming close to our preferred move in date (June), I’ve done a lot of thinking.

My biggest concern is her being in a relationship that could potentially be something more serious if she decides to live with him. I don’t want to stop her happiness, I just don’t think moving away for just 2 years is reasonable especially today. Not saying that I can’t do it on my own but moving away that far doesn’t make sense since time can go by fast in one year.

Another one is her being picky with jobs and not trying to start small so that she can at least have some sort of income while looking for bigger positions. I’ve never been picky about jobs because at the end of the day I have to make money one way or another to survive.

Her and I are extremely close and I already talked to her about my conversation and she was very understanding. Now I’m stuck thinking about if I should stay at home and focus on paying my student loans faster, but sacrificing my own happiness, privacy, and space since I live in a toxic home. The obvious option is to move in with her and have my own peace but spend more money and restart. I would like to hear how (or if) others was in the same situation.
